A toggle on/off to identify bots and humans.
Many people wish bots (or humans) to be identified when racing. During races there should be an option to identify bots/humans. This could be on a toggle switch to suit both those who wish to identify bots and also those who do not wish to identify bots.

Many thanks for your suggestion and support for TrainingPeaks Virtual.
We take it as a huge compliment that it is not possible to tell the difference between a bot and a human when racing!
After an event, the event organiser can choose to be immediately emailed with the results of the event, and these will indicate to them who was human and who was a bot - it is then deliberately left as a choice for the organiser whether to share that with the participants or not.

This after event scenario does zero to help during a group ride, event, etc. to be able to chat with other riders, ask questions, etc. We need to know Bots from real humans DURING the activity.
Today's group ride, several riders seemed frustrated to who was a real human and who wasn't. This was a group ride, not a race, so being able to 'talk' is something leisurely riders like to do.
It is hard to ask a rider to come back to the group or help them to know how to handle a hill or chase, etc. when that 'rider' may simply be a Bot off the back or a Bot attacking out front (yes, Passive Bots will surge ahead).
Please reconsider have some way to tell who is real and who is a Bot.
Thanks
